We diligently kept the windows and doors closed during our stay, but we woke up the next morning with at least 20 bites between the two of us. The buzzing in our ears woke us up too.

Creamer, coffee, tea, eggs, butter, english muffins, jellies, and fruit provided. Cute, boho style furniture with some shaker style pieces - very nicely decorated. Sheets and bedding very nice and comfy. Lovely white fluffy towels (bring your own robe - I was glad that I did!). Beautiful blue and white tiled bathroom with shower only - wonderful water pressure and hot water! Tony and Jan supply body wash, shampoo, and conditioner (Neutrogena Rainbath and Pantene at the time of my visit). Small wood-burning stove with logs and all the tools needed to keep a fire going. Wifi signal was great - I watched some Netflix and joined a Zoom meeting from my own computer and had no issues with either. Hot tub was great. Outdoor space to sit at a nice table with four chairs and a nice looking BBQ. I saw an elk roaming on the property, lots of quail and other birds (they have a pictorial guide of birds hanging by the front door right as you walk in). The yurt is on a gravel road. You pass the neighbor's sheep and horses as you drive in. Point Reyes Station is literally right around the corner - a 2-3 minute drive - with lots of food, great markets and shopping. Inverness is a 5-minute drive (if that). The yurt is very conveniently located. I passed Jan and Tony and Stella, their dog, on the way out one night - very friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. I will be thrilled when the opportunity comes to visit again!!

Despite its lovely location in the coastal hills of Point Reyes, this place has significant…read moredrawbacks at a high price point. Good: Very pleasant staff and other guests. Historic old farmhouse with wonderful NPS interpretive history display covering a wall in the living room. Immaculate rooms and common areas. Wildlife: coveys of quail, momentary shadow of hawk chasing lizard. Dark skies. Why we won't go back: We, a married couple, occupied one of the rooms in one of the 4-unit structures. Each of these has a kitchen shared by four rooms. Two rooms share am separated bath and shower. In order of unpleasantness for us: 1. The double bed was too small; one of us kept falling off the edge while the other was squished against the wall all night. 2. Sharing the bathroom with unknown neighbors was awkward. 3. Going from building to building and into one's room required memorizing four separate keypad codes, one of which changed in the middle of our stay. Imagine having to remember all this when it's dark and you need to use the bathroom. 4. The main building has a big kitchen. Some things (like coffee and tea) are supplied. But it is difficult to figure out what is provided for guests and what is available to use. It is difficult to figure out how to cook one's meals when there are a dozen other guests with whom one must negotiate. It is slightly easier in the smaller kitchens. 5. Wi-fi was unreliable. Other than the too-small bed, the worst part of our stay was that someone took away our brown paper grocery bag after we unwittingly left it in the main building upon our arrival. There are mysterious kitchen protocols of where one is supposed to leave one's things, and I never did figure this out. You are supposed to mark your stuff, but we did not realize this until our last morning. When we could not find our food bag, we assumed we;d left it at home, so we did not mount a search until it was too late. We had squirreled away odds and ends of food for our hiking lunch, so we shrugged it off. But we had to drive to Olema for dinner. The first morning, I was very unhappy at not being able to find my coffee. I am not a morning person and hate loud commotion. I almost cried at having to make polite conversation while the neighbors were cooking strange-smelling foods. One kind soul dosed me on caffeine. If this were still a hostel and the price was $50/nite, all this might be fine. But the NPS clearly requires this concessionaire to set prices that compare to the AirB&Bs of Inverness - $200/night. So it is to Inverness that we will go next time.

Absolutely wonderful stay here while we visited Point Reyes…read more I saw this spot on multiple instagram travel posts, and essentially planned a trip around staying here! They have numerous options for rooms, and I loved that the Market Flat had one bedroom with a king bed, another bedroom with a bunk bed, and a living room sleeper which was perfect for our group. Very friendly service- they emailed me multiple times before the trip with updates, and also readily accommodated requests (ie getting more space heaters) They have a beautiful backyard where people host weddings. Loved the river views, and the fire pits. They provide free smores kits at the front desk which is awesome! There are also blankets by the fire pits to stay warm at night. Also love the lounge room with free coffee/tea all day and the downstairs game room where they had an ample amount of board games and an old record player. Also thought it was nifty that they have tons of binoculars that you can rent out too, which came in handy for us at the Tule Elk Reserve! The Due West Market was also convenient to have- they mainly have drinks and some snacks; but I definitely appreciated the espresso drink options and a couple of fresh bakery goods from Due West We also ate at the on site restaurant Due West one night and enjoyed everything. Overall such a wonderful experience to stay here.

This is actually my first time writing a review for a hotel, so I'll try to be as helpful as I can. This was our second time staying here. I love the rooms. They are so comfortable and have wonderful, little touches added. The rooms have fireplaces, but instead of lighting a fire they give you a beautiful handmade, three wick candle that creates a beautiful display of flame. To help you sleep they give you a spray to scent your pillows with lavender. I love the high ceilings in the rooms I've stayed in, as well as the little balconies you can sit on. The hotel has a really good restaurant next door and has treats throughout the day. A very simple continental breakfast, some snacks and drinks in the afternoon, and in the evening the front desk had the makings of s'mores to bring out to the fire pit. The marshmallows were especially delicious! My only real complaint is the people who work the front desk were not the most helpful and seemed a bit awkward. One of them said they were new and didn't really know how to answer a few of my questions. I still love this place though despite the strange staff that works here.

The room was nice and clean, breakfast was wonderful, good coffee, Tom was most helpful in giving me safe trails to take my daughter, great wifi, and he had some wonderful guests!

Imagine this: you pack a bag, bring your dog, and drive out to the Lodge at Marconi after work. The…read moreapproach alone feels like a transition - winding roads, rolling hills, glimpses of the Pacific. As dusk settles and darkness blankets the land, the drive is clearly marked and welcoming. A fire glows outside the lobby, where guests gather for complimentary s'mores from the front desk. Melissa greeted me that evening - jovial, warm, and effortlessly efficient. Check-in felt less like a transaction and more like an arrival. After settling in, we walked up to Mable's just up the hill. The air was crisp. Jackie seated us outside, wiping down the table and setting up the heater while asking what brought us there. The service felt attentive without being intrusive - thoughtful in a way that made you feel both seen and relaxed. The manager recommended the oysters (sourced just down the hillside), clam chowder, beef short ribs, carrots, and potatoes he described as "ridiculously good." He wasn't wrong. One bite and I understood the confidence behind the recommendation. Jackie crafted a mezcal cocktail - technically out of season due to its pomegranate base - so she improvised beautifully. It was smoky, warm and sweet; perfect for the evening. Every dish felt intentional and dessert was too - chocolate mousse, peanut butter, caramel, roasted marshmallow, quinoa bark, and peanuts that melted together in a single, perfectly balanced bite. Later, I returned to the now-quiet fire, made one last s'more, and sat in stillness. There was a palpable sense of history on the land - a peaceful awareness of all who had gathered there before. The room was simple and deeply comfortable. I read before wrapping myself in crisp sheets and falling asleep on a cool pillow. In the morning, wrapped in a Marconi robe, I walked to the sauna and meditated - alternating between closed eyes and views of trees and the Pacific beyond. After a hot shower, I packed up and chose a nearby trail. The hike unfolded like a story: a solitary yellow chair overlooking rolling hills and ocean; the distant sound of cattle; clusters of seats that felt as if laughter had only just faded; historic buildings standing quietly in time; a small pond alive with frogs; ravens calling overhead; forest trails opening into meadow views. Eventually, the paths brought me back near Mable's. For breakfast, Haven greeted me and I chose the same table from the night before. I ordered the French toast after seeing the light in the eyes of my waitress when she described it - along with black coffee and scrambled eggs. Robert, the manager, stopped by to ask about my stay and suggested one final trail before I left. He was right - it was the perfect closing note. The Lodge at Marconi offers more than a stay. It offers space - to breathe, to wander, to reconnect. Wherever you're traveling from, you may just find solace here.

The property is gorgeous, featuring spectacular views... particularly from Tower Hill, located just a quick stroll from the lobby. There are also a variety of trails that loop around above Tomales Bay / amongst the trees. No worries if you are tired from a long day or just here to relax. We have always enjoyed the amenities and the quality of the rooms. The coffee / tea kettle station in each room is a nice touch, the beds are super comfortable & each room has robes for relaxing and a lantern for evening exploration or a trip to the communal gas powered fire pit. There is a new restaurant on property with indoor / outdoor seating + full bar. The food is a bit pricey, but flavorful and well worth the experience, especially since there is nothing else in this area / open in the evenings. Plan accordingly! There is also a small shop with local snacks, cheese, etc. The lobby coffee / ice situation has always been a bit lackluster, particularly during peak hours. We have received a latte w/ curdled milk with no offer to refund or open a new jug. The ice maker is extremely small and they can only offer one tiny bag at a time. The complimentary coffee carafe runs out extremely fast, I waited about an hour for coffee on this last visit due to the multiple groups waiting in the lobby ahead of me. All in all these are minor complaints and I believe the ownership is still figuring some things out. I highly recommend making a stop at Marshall Store for lunch as part of your visit to this area, the food is insanely good and this is how we originally found the Lodge. We can't wait to be back soon!
